I can't help but feel that Rails is having a comeback now. Lots of people building really cool projects like this one popping up. The stack is insanely good for doing everything I need to do and the Hotwire Native stuff is starting to get more and more solid every day.

Adding an anecdote I'm one of those newcomers having rediscovered rails a few months ago after all the buzz around version 8.

I just got done porting https://www.skatevideosite.com (and our custom admin panel) from sveltekit/fastapi to Rails and I'm stoked on the results so far.

I need to write up my experience about the rewrite, having a blast so far.

wow this is the first i've seen someone port from sveltkit to rails. can't wait to read that writeup
drop me an email, hn at skatevideosite.com, and I'll be sure to message you when it comes out :)
I still prefer Vue3 with Vite over hotwire and stimulus. It is much easier to be productive on frontend if you need anything beyond usual CRUD
Second this - here is a guide for good setup for this https://mailsnag.com/blog/rails7-vuetify3/
Vue3 is great. Also Svelte5. But I’m not sure I would use either of those for an email. And sometimes you don’t need any interactivity in the frontend and server-side-rendered HTML can be a good option.
Wonder if there is some data that backs up this claim
